(Closed) Paper first anniversary

Our first anniversary is coming up! Hubby and I decided to do the traditional gift of paper. I need to come up with a fantastic and creative gift for under $100. That’s the budget we decided on. I started thinking up ideas…. Omg, so much harder to buy for a dude!! lol

plus, the budget is a hindrance.

So far…concert tickets, a gift certificate to a race track to race a car, a 49ers signed picture, make him something

his interests include…. 49ers, law enforcement/military/etc gear, movies, metal music and classic rock, PS3 games (borderlands, madden, call of duty), working out, and he’s Native American so all sort of native things, and history.

One of our favorite wedding gifts was a year’s worth of date nights. There is one envelope for each month. Inside, DH’s aunt and uncle put in a cute saying, along with a $10 gift card to a restaurant or fun place. We absolutely LOVE this! It’s so much fun getting to open each envelope at the start of each month. The $10 doesn’t usually cover the entire date, of course, but it’s a way to make sure that we are still having date nights. You could put the gift cards in, or just make up little cards with the event.

@LEwife543: For our first anniversary we stayed at a B&B in Charlottesville for a weekend for wine tasting and relaxation. For the “paper” portion of our anniversary, DH suggested we write a letter to each other and put it in a bottle like a time capsule, to be opened in 10 years. I loved it and when we read our letters in the future, it will be nice to have a reminder of where we were on our 1 year anniversary
